Jordan Micheal Peterson



Jordan Micheal Peterson is a blast of fresh air right into your ears. Peterson's talent is a stunning thing to behold. It's not everyone who can blend classic sounds with a fresh, modern appeal, but Peterson does the job just right. His piano-based pop rock is bound to land him on the shelf next to the great piano rock legends. The skill behind this nimble-fingered musician is enough to cause even the most hardened music-goer to pause for a moment in consideration of the masterful melodies emanating from the speakers. Peterson's music is heartfelt, honest, catchy and endearing and it's sure to sweep the country and remind people exactly what great songwriting is all about.



Freedom



Music is freedom. Freedom to speak one's mind and to do so by doing more than just speaking. Music rises above simple language to communicate in far more profound ways. It also brings courage and an outlet for getting out whatever it is that needs getting out. “Music makes me feel like I can say anything I want to and I can say so much more with music than I can with just words.” Peterson understands exactly what music is for and uses it as a tool to both entertain and speak out with heart on sleeve. It's this brave honesty that brings so much emotional impact to Peterson's songs. That and his amazing musical abilities, of course.



Forget Psychics



There is one true way to ensure that another person feels exactly what you feel. Words fail and fall short. They can approximate but by themselves they are incapable of the fullest emotional and intellectual expression. “Music is the best form of expression because in the moment people are listening to your music, they really can feel what you feel and nothing else can do that.” Peterson's grasp of music's finest nature enables him to craft songs that genuinely reach out and speak up and make contact with listeners in a way unique to music and in a way unique to Peterson. His songs are bright and original and refuse to be turned off once the music is playing.



Tiny, Big



The most accomplished artists will tell you that their inspiration comes from the most minute speck, the teeniest minutiae, and from the gargantuan heavens and world around us – and from everything in between. It's the only way to bring fullness to one's canon of music. “Everything inspires me, sometimes little everyday things that I take for granted, sometimes huge life changing events, and sometimes just a person I look up to.” By incorporating every facet of life into his songwriting, Peterson is able with unwavering skill to create songs that have something special to say to all comers. Every listener will feel as though Peterson is speaking directly to him or her.



Taking Aim



Peterson is taking aim at the future. Armed with heart, mind and talent, the future can only hold greatness. He has opened for the Drew Davis Band and has nabbed the winning slot in the Galaxy of the Stars Competition. Having already begun establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with, he is continuing to write music and prepare to earn more and more fans until stardom has arrived. A new release is in the works and that should be enough to keep any fan salivating. Peterson is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.



Review



“It says a lot that Peterson has so deftly captured a timeless sound in his material. His musical maturity is formidable indeed.” - A&R Select

Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I love playing live. I play wherever people want me to play. My best moment would be getting to open for the Drew Davis Band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has majorly decreased music prices, and made everything more accessible. But mainly it has given people a medium to express themselves and get themselves known.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Most definitely.
Band History:
I started playing when I was 7 years old, and I can't get enough of it to this day. Today, I write and sing my own songs.
Your influences?
Elton John, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, being a piano player. But I love lots of music, and I find that bits and pieces of different genres tend to show.
Favorite spot?
The ocean. I've never been there, but I want to go.
